My invention relates to an improvement nose-pieces for eyeglasses; and it consists of f01a111i110i15 material, whereby said pieces W111 take efie'ctive hold of the nose-without in forming'ysuchpiecesor the facings thereof severity of action thereon.

-'Figure 1 represents a rearelevation of an 1. Fig. 3 represents the form of facing en 1 eyeglassembodying my invention. Fig.2 represents a section thereof on line 0; 90, Fig.

ploye I v I 7 Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

' Referringto the drawings, A designates an eyeglass which, excepiting the feature of. my invention 'applied t ereto, is of usual construction. B designates the nose-piece thereof, the same having its facing on nosecontacting surfaces formed of foraminous material.

In Fig. 3 .'the facing C is finely-reticulated materiahproducing a series ofineshes, it being seen that when the facings are adjusted'on the nose the walls of the openings numerouslytake hold of the nose, owing to the tendency of the skin to enter said open- 1 ings in the manner of interlocking, thus firmly retaining the glass on the nose with- -out liability of the same to shift .or drop even should the skin be moist from perspiration or otherwise slippery. Again, the numerous openings in the facing permit the excretions of the skin to be evaporated through the same, and thus avoid collection or deposits beneath the, bearing or contact surfaces,

causing the guard to shift.
